IS THE
GREASS GREENER
-FOR YOU?
OR GREENER,
-FOR ME?
OR GREENER,
ON THE
OTHER SIDE?
THAT IS,
-UNKNOWN?


I MAY THINK,
IT’S GREENER,
-FOR YOU,
YOU MAY THINK,
IT’S GREENER,
-FOR ME,

WHAT IS THE,
GREEN GRASS?
THAT I
YET
NOT KNOW?


BEHIND THOSE
DOORS,
WHO KNOWS,
HOW IT IS,
-FOR YOU,
OR
-FOR ME,
OR
WHAT’S,
IN STORE,
-ON THE,
OTHER SIDE,
OF THAT,
GREENER GRASS,
-THAT YOU,
THINK,
YOU SEE.


WHAT’S GREEN,
-FOR YOU,
I’SNT
GREEN,
-FOR ME,
AND
SOMETHING,
GREENER,
THAT IS,
-STILL,
-UNFORESEEN.


THAT GREEN GRASS,
-FOR YOU,
WILL BE,
DIFFERENT,
-FOR ME,
AS,
IT IS,
ON THE,
OTHERSIDE,
--UNTOUCHED.


WHO KNOWS,
IF,
IT’S BETTER,
-FOR YOU,
THAN,
IT IS,
-FOR ME,

OR
STILL,
YET,
TO COME,
GREEN,
-ONE DAY,
FROM THAT,
OTHER SIDE,
OF THE,
-UNKNOWN.


UNTIL,
THEN,
ONLY YOU,
CAN KEEP,
TO,
YOUR SIDE,
OF THAT,
GREEN GRASS.


UNTIL,
YOU,
MAKE THAT,
CHOICE,
TO SHIFT/CHANGE,
YOURSELF,
TO THE,
OTHER SIDE,
OF,
THAT,
-UNKNOWN,
GREEN GRASS,


AND,
JUST KNOW STILL,
THAT IT MAY,
-NOT BE,
THAT SAME,
GREEN GRASS,
THAT YOU,
ONCE SAW,
FROM,
YOUR SIDE,
WHERE YOU WERE,
BEFORE,
YOU,
MADE,
-THAT CHANGE.


MAYBE
IT COULD BE,
BETTER,
TO STAY,
ON THAT,
-SAME SIDE,


AND,
CONTINE,
TO BUILD,
ON,
THAT SAME,
‘FAMILIAR’
-GREEN GRASS,
THAT YOU,
ALREADY KNOW.


UNLESS,
YOU FEEL,
-IT’S THAT,
TIME.
TO TAKE,
-THAT RISK,
AND,
GIVE IT,
A GO.


TO TRY AGAIN,
AND,
REBUILD,
A
-NEW GREEN GRASS,
ONCE AGAIN,


OF,
THAT IDEA,
THAT YOU,
THOUGHT THAT,
YOU HAD,
WHEN,
YOU,
WERE ONCE,
-ON THE OTHER SIDE,
OF THAT,
GREEN GRASS.

‘THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.’
Bijan Nowain Feb 2015
Grass is Greener*

Someone with one foot in, one foot out,
These days what relationships are about.
Find something meaningful, magical and rare,
Stick with that person, don't go anywhere.
The skies the same color wherever you go,
Fall for one person, dance to and fro.
Make it count, you only get one life,
Don't fill it with heartache, difficult love, and strife.
See happiness in one person and be true,
Stay together, do the work, see it through.
A lover, a best friend, someone in to confide,
The grass is not always greener on the other side.
